It's like the red-eye issue from years ago. Someone leaked ALPA was discussing flying after a red-eye or something like that. Pilots inundated their reps with opinions and it was changed and that red-eye stuff was taken out at the last minute. Had someone not said it was going to happen, we would of been presented with a signed LOA. Now we do have voting approval for LOAs, which helps. But it would be nice to be able to give our opinions before an issue becomes an LOA.

Because alpa isn’t discussing anything with the company at this point on this issue

I believe you, tunes, but then our union needs to put out Comm pieces very quick after the company makes a false assertion and debunk the narrative being made.

The same back-and-forth misinformation came last year from Laughter regarding discussions about VEOP, 20-03 and 20-04.. why can no one just clear the air and call a spade a spade?

Yes, I have made this known to my reps.

No need, it’s already in the contract how Theater quals are handled.

yeah, but how often do they answer either, and how often do they actually give a crap what we think.

Well the company says they are (in the Skyhub meeting from the other day) - they said they have been working with ALPA safety/training committee and have a proposal for LOA about how we can ‘sunset’ traditional TOE.

But I did talk with my rep and he didn't know anything about it.

What's to pay protect? If this theater qual scenario plays out, there will be no problem getting that qual. DAL will basically double their LCP availability as LVPs will more than likely be able to do them. Atlantic crossings have been dumbed down so much I am surprised it has taken this long.

I think first time captains should go with a LCP, but I ain't making that decision. I won't be a bit surprised if LVPs are greenlighted for this.

Agreed. I flew with a Captain that mentioned when he was in the ER as a Captain on reserve he hadn't flown Intl for so long when he got a trip assigned a Paris trip the FOs basically got them there.

Yep.. it's just like the Pacific/Hawaii quals for the 737. One trip with LVP or LCA and you're done. If you bid a Hawaii trip and you're not qualified yet, they'll either buy off the FO and get you qualified on that trip, or they'll drop it for you with pay. Easy.

I understand what he said on sky hub. What I’m telling you is that there has been no proposal submitted to alpa on this so there is currently nothing to negotiate
